Sportsex examines the landscape of sports writ global. And it is about the way sport allows men and women - but mostly men - to consider their looks, their vitality, and their relationship to their gender in ways that in any other context would be considered taboo. Miller pays particular attention to the way celebrity is considered around the world through a number of different athletic activities. Along the way he also offers his own personal connection to sport as both a researcher and recipient of its abuses and pleasures.

Разговоры о правах женщин в России, мягко говоря, пугают настолько, что любой шаг за пределы кухни воспринимают как революцию.
"Не пугайтесь слова "феминизм" - это простое признание факта, что женщина - личность и человек", - говорит Залина Маршенкулова - автор телеграмм-канала "Женская власть" и твиттера "Маячок антихриста". Она пишет о неравенстве без розовых соплей и оперирует только фактами, обрамляя их своим непревзойденным чёрным юмором.
Для кого эта книга?
Как для феминисток_тов, так и для тех, кто хочет перейти от патриархальных стереотипов к умению формировать своё мнение. Читая главу за главой, вы поймёте, что не так с работой СМИ и рекламщиков, отношением к женщинам в России , патриархатом, восприятием сексуальности и как все это связано с феминизмом.

Florian Brauner addresses the risk reduction effects of security measures (SecMe) as well as economic and social effects using terrorist threats in public transportation as use case.
